Before the martial arts examination was over, the Daning Dusi had been established on paper, with a level roughly the same as Wanquan Dusi, and at the same time an interdependent relationship with Jizhen.

Jizhen, the battalion system, is subordinate to the military department, and the main conquest and operation are carried out.

The Daning Division, the system of the guard, is subordinate to the Governor's Office of the Later Army, and the military department only has the right to transfer troops. The main duties are to manage military households, ensure tuntian, train non-commissioned soldiers, and supply soldiers.

The land of Daning Dusi belongs to the scope of Ji Town.

A number of guards in Jizhen, as well as the Qiantun guard in Guangning, eastern Liaodong, were placed under the jurisdiction of the Daning Division.

The appointment and dismissal of officials are as follows:-

Daning Commander: Ma Yong.

Daning is the commander of the same knowledge: Xiao Lu and Zheng Kang.

All command affairs, experiences, affairs, and judgments, and do not go into details.

Daning avant-garde commander: Yu Dayou.

Daning Zhongwei Commander: Zhou Junyou.

In addition, there are more than 20 guards, and the chief officials are all Wujinshi and Wujuren. They are all non-hereditary military attachés, and they will be promoted faster in the future, and they may be transferred to other places to mix sand, which will gradually erode the hereditary military general system of the Ming Dynasty.

In these martial arts palace tests, Yu Dayou is the champion of martial arts, and Zhou Junyou is the eye of the martial arts.

Zhou Junyou not only ranked first in riding and archery among the candidates, but also second only to Yu Dayou in his strategy articles, and was a very valuable all-round talent in civil and military affairs.

As for why Zhou Junyou is not famous in history, it is because his father Zhou Shangwen was involved in political struggles, and Zhou Junyou was exiled as a victim.

His father, Zhou Shangwen, is still unknown now, and he is also both civil and military, but he has a Geng Jie personality and often conflicts with civil officials. As a result, the civil officials and governors relied on Zhou Shangwen to win the battle, but afterwards they deliberately ignored Zhou Shangwen's military exploits, including the emperor and Wang Yuan, they didn't know that there was such a fierce man in the frontier.

Historically, Zhou Shangwen's fame was still a matter of the Jiajing period.

The right-wing Mongolian deputy Khan Ji Nang rose up, and he made many side offences, and was beaten by Zhou Shangwen every time, basically killing a son after two or three beatings. Ji Nang's son was beheaded several times by Zhou Shangwen, and since then he has been depressed and indulged in pleasures, and the power has gradually fallen into the hands of his younger brother Altan Khan - if it were not for the existence of Zhou Shangwen, Altan Khan would not have been able to ascend to the throne at all.

It's a pity that Zhou Shangwen offended the powerful minister Yan Song, and the sons of the three fierce generals were all convicted and exiled by Yan Song. Zhou Shangwen begged bitterly, and Jiajing relented and agreed to release his eldest and youngest sons, but the second son must be exiled to Hainan Island. His three sons are all brave people, killed in the sea of corpses and blood.

By the way, Zhou Shangwen was the only military general in the Ming Dynasty who was ranked among the three dukes.

The Jiajing Dynasty is simply like a cloud, so Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou will not talk about it. There are also Ma Yong, Liang Zhen, Zhou Shangwen, and Shen Xiyi, four famous generals, all of whom are fierce people if they come out. Take Liang Zhen as an example, the brothers Ji Nang and I Da teamed up to commit a side, and Liang Zhen easily broke it. The two brothers were furious, raised 100,000 cavalry, poured out to take revenge, and were killed by Liang Zhen again.

At that time, Ji Nang and I Da were really desperate, they sat on the land of the Hetao, and there were more than 100,000 people who controlled the strings. But the invasion of Ningxia was overturned by Liang Zhen, and the invasion of Yansui and Datong was overturned by Zhou Shangwen, and everywhere he went, he could only be beaten, and he could only retract back to the grassland and beat the surrounding tribes.

This is true of right-wing Mongolia, and the same is true of left-wing Mongolia and Duoyan Sanwei. At first, Ma Yongding was there, and then Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang beat those Mongolian tribes to the south.

As for Shen Xiyi, he was the military god of the southwest, and he quelled the rebellion everywhere in Sichuan, Guangxi, Yunnan, and Guizhou, and was even transferred to Hainan Island to quell the rebellion.

can only say that Jiajing has a good life!

……

Now, due to the lack of immigrants, Daning City temporarily has only two guards, with Yu Dayou and Zhou Junyou as commanders.

However, their command and envoy positions were subordinate to the Daning Dusi system, and they were only responsible for tuntian and military training. Therefore, they also served as generals, belonging to the Jizhen system, and could lead troops to resist the Mongol invasion at any time.

The Duoyanwei cavalry who surrendered were completely dispersed and thrown to the guards of the Daning Dusi. They were also assigned to the ranch and were responsible for raising horses for the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time they needed to learn Chinese slowly, and the first step was to give themselves a Chinese name.

Some of the captured Duoyanwei people were returned to the surrendered Duoyanwei cavalry. Young women between the ages of 15 and 30 were selected and assigned to Daning immigrants as wives. The rest were all sent back to the Quanning Grassland, so that these people could continue to serve as the Great Ming Barrier.

Proton Boge, who was named the governor of Duoyan by the emperor, took the remnants of Duoyan to thrive in the Quanning grassland. Not only did he have to resist the left-wing Mongols, but he also had to deal with Fuyuwei and Tainingwei, and the difficulty of survival was hellish.

Before leaving, Wu Zhuangyuan Yu Dayou, Wu Bangyan Zhou Junyou, and Wu Tanhua Li Yang made an appointment to meet Wang Yuan.

"I've seen Wang Shilang!" The three of them worked together.

Wang Yuan smiled: "You don't have to be formal, please sit down." ”

Yu Dayou asked: "Military attachés are not allowed to make friends with Wenchen, I am waiting for this to come, not to cling." Just because the land of Daning was recovered by Wang Shilang, it was desolate and dilapidated, and there were all kinds of ruins waiting to be rebuilt, I don't know what Wang Shilang had to say? ”

Wang Yuan said: "Sima Yong, the capital of Daning, is honest and honest, and governs the army strictly. As officials under him, listen to more teachings and learn more skills. Within five years, there should be no war in Daning, and the training should be mainly in Tuntian. The imperial court will always emigrate to the real border, mostly exiles, and military discipline should be vigorously grasped. In the military households, each person shall be given 100 acres of land, which shall be cultivated with heart, and the officers shall not encroach on it. ”

"That's how it should be." Zhou Junyou said.

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Xintun Zhitian, the people are empty. I am not afraid that you will encroach upon, but I am afraid that you will serve as soldiers and let them farm for you. Let me put it this way, don't think about invading the fields, the military attachés of Daning will all be transferred to other places for at least ten years. No matter how much fertile land you occupy, can you still take care of it after you are transferred? Sooner or later, it will be taken over by other officers. Therefore, when you are transferred, it is best to sell your private land. And the encroached land, without the title deed, will definitely not be sold. ”

Li Yang was surprised: "After ten years, will you definitely be transferred to another place?" ”

Wang Yuan nodded and said, "This is to enhance the vitality of the Ming army. Your identity is very special, you are the first batch of Heavenly Son Martial Disciples, and you will definitely be promoted faster in the future. Hereditary military attachés in various places have no heirs or crimes, and once there is a vacancy, you will be promoted to fill the post first, but it is impossible to be hereditary in this life. What you gain, what you lose, weigh yourselves. ”

The three of them finally understood the path of the imperial court, and they all admired Wang Yuan's good methods, and actually used this gentle method to reform the Ming military system.

Although the effect is slow, it is better not to cause a huge revolt.

There must be supporting actions, such as the lively imperial history, after understanding the emperor's intentions, he will definitely arrest the hereditary military attache and impeach. The imperial court does not need to make a big move, it only needs to deal with forty or fifty cases a year, and it will not make waves at all when it is evenly distributed to the whole country.

Forty or fifty hereditary military attachés were dealt with in a year, and all the Wujinshi and Wuju people were stuffed over, and the martial arts were not enough, and the emperor's leopard house warriors were on top.

Ten years later, there were four or five hundred local military generals. If the proportion is increased year by year, it is not a problem to stuff thousands of them, and in the long run, it will inevitably cause qualitative changes.

These low-ranking military generals will definitely be squeezed out by the local government, and even suppressed by the provincial capitals. However, the chief secretary and the magistrate will help them, and the governor and the imperial historian will also help them, and they will gradually become the "lackeys" of the civil officials.

There are certainly drawbacks, but they don't hurt.

After asking Wang Yuan for advice, the three Wujin soldiers got up and said goodbye.

Before leaving, Yu Dayou took out three military books: "Wang Shilang, this is compiled by his teacher, and his old man wants to ask you to correct it." ”

"Be sure to read the masterpiece." Wang Yuan said with a smile.

Back in the study, Wang Yuan first opened the "Taoling Inner Column", and at a glance it was full of various array diagrams. Moreover, the explanation of the array diagram is extremely difficult, and you must be familiar with the "Book of Changes" to understand it, and Wang Yuan was instantly confused by his brain.

However, combined with his own battlefield experience and using mathematics and geometry to analyze, Wang Yuan soon discovered the mystery.

It is nothing more than a combination of multiple arms for the most efficient arrangement. Between the changes in formation, we can fight more and fight less, and constantly create local superiority for our army.

In the case of a circle, it is not a circle.

It has cavalry or elite infantry on its left and right posts. There are ten sentinels in the middle, and you are in a phalanx, but the ten phalanxes are arranged in a circle. There are troops behind the palace, and there are also two reserves, two odd teams, and two ambush teams, all of which are taken into account. This formation is suitable for defensive counterattacks, and if equipped with chariots, guns and artillery, it can resist several times the Mongol cavalry.

It's just that the requirements for the quality of soldiers are a bit high, and many formations need to be strictly disciplined and prohibited.

Moreover, most of these formations are prepared for big battles, and at least thousands of troops are required to deploy the formations. For example, "Sima Sui Tho holds the strange camp array", which requires 12,500 people, and there are arrays within arrays, which are complicated, and they are outdated and not suitable for the battlefield of the Ming Dynasty at all.

After Wang Yuan researched it, he deleted those that were useless, and improved the rest, adding the establishment of firecrackers and artillery.

After perfecting, Wang Yuan felt that there was too much work, so he directly selected the simplest phalanx, including chariot soldiers, cavalry, artillery, firecrackers, archers, logistics soldiers, and long weapons team. When the Mongol cavalry came, they set up a formation of wagons and fired with firearms, and after disrupting the formation, the long-armed infantry took the opportunity to kill, and then chased the enemy with cavalry.

Simple, direct, easy to promote, not high requirements for generals and soldiers, much better than Mr. Yu Dayou's formations, and more suitable for the actual battlefield than the traditional military formations of the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that the cost is relatively high, and the musketeers and artillery teams have to spend money, and daily maintenance is also relatively expensive.

After compiling the formation map, Wang Yuan took it to the emperor and presented it to the emperor, and it was up to Zhu Houzhao to be reluctant to promote it.
